A queezy little program, although there is a free alternative called ResourcesExtract by Nirsoft which I recommend since ResourcesExtract doesn't require install :D

#2 Ozawa - There is a faster way to do that... go to the temp folder and set sort for the biggest files size on the top ! No programs needed for that !

Installed and activated in seconds. It works and found all BMP and ICO files. I extracted a bunch of useless low quality images embedded in my programs. I have no use for a program like this one. May be someone can tell me what this program is good for. Thanks

#2 Ozawa: Another alternative to #6's suggestion is to download Nirsoft's VideoCacheView v1.98. It will help you to extract the video file from the cache and save it after watching a video from sites like youtube.

install of 7MB into directory of your choice. adds an
uninstall.exe into C:\Windows\AllMedia Grabber\ (that
is certainly strange.) not sure if it added an .ocx
or two into \system32\?

a short html help included in the install directory.
seemingly there are "standard" & "advanced" versions
of the program, with difference in the types of files
they can extract. (Advanced can extract more. This
is the "Standard".)

seemingly it uses some FreeImage library, which it
includes a "license" for.

when you first run the program, it brings up a screen
with the license Name/Code pre-filled in, GiveAwayOfTheDay.
you click Register.

so this is NOT the advanced version, because various
formats cannot be selected.

you can search within files or folders.

on a LARGE file (1 GB) search is SLOW SLOW SLOW & VERY
resource intensive. (There is an option to limit the
search to the first 100 KB.)

files are stored in inidividual directories (by file
type, by size) *WITHIN* the program directory, with
no option to change the location. that is certainly
odd!

all files are numerically prefixed so any, what would
otherwise could be a duplicate, just gets the next
number, so nothing is overwritten, but dups can occur.

enumerating (opening the folder tree) of a large
directory /system32/ (2902 files) takes quite a bit of
time & is resource itensive.

scanning /system32/ is time consuming & resource intensive.

you can move/copy saved media to a different folder.
BUT.
media is displayed by PAGES. so if you have 6,000
ICO files extracted (& depending on thumbnail size?),
that takes 30 pages to display. so you are only
seeing 1/30 (so 200) of then entire 6000 at any one
time.
SO
while you can move them to another folder, you would
have to click on each individual page (30 of them),
select all files (right-click context menu) & then
move them to you selected folder. (you would have
to do this 30 times. at least the last folder is
preselected).
IT
would be much easier to do mass moving though
windows explorer (cough, cough, err a true file
manager, & if that file manager displayed icons,
all the better & in a "flat" manner, better too.)

image files, you can relate to visually.

music/video files, are only numbered. 1, 2, 3 ...
so no means to know what they are or anything
about them without actually opening them. there
is no context what so ever to the files. not
where they came from, not the path they were found,
nothing. just numbered files. so you've found
51 AVI files &, & what do you do? click on one,
click on the next? tiring. no way to select them
all & send the (in mass) to your media player.

(again it would be much easier to use your file
manager where you can do things like that.)

nirsoft's utility, while finding less, if far
quicker & efficient

does what it says, but could be better, more
efficient.

oh, & they do show a link on their webpage to
Softpedia - which is actually valid. (that
is quit unusual compared with many of the
programs offered here with bogus links.)
